Provenance
F. C. Boldsen, Copenhagen, thence by descent to the present owner.
Frederik Christian Boldsen (1877-1954) founded what is today known as K. A. B., the Copenhagen General Building Society. Boldsen had a great vision about modern housing which inspires Danish housing even today. He was also an important and farsighted collector of modern art. He bought works by young Danish artists like Richard Mortensen, Vilheom Bjerke Petersen, Wilhelm Freddie, Asger Jorn, Vilhelm Lundstrom, Harald Giersing and Henry Heerup. Boldsen was always much interested in Surrealism. He collected pictures by Magritte, Tanguy, Dominguez and Ernst but also by the Swedish surrealist Halmstadt Group (a.o. Erik Olsen, Axel Olsson, F. Thorén, S. Jonson and G. A. Nilson). Part of his collection was sold in Copenhagen after his death.
